Is there paper missing somewhere?

Same with the PSA 4. Does it have a hidden crease?

We always say buy the card, not the slab... how about we buy the card based on the actual card, not how it looks on our screens?

Hi Aaron
As far as I can tell, the condition issues are the ones that can be seen on the screen. I just grabbed the scan of the 4 from eBay, so don't know of hidden defects on it. The 1.5 has those spider wrinkles. The back could be discolored but I am not sure. So the answer is, I don't think there are hidden defects.

thanks for the description. If the prices aren't too far apart, I'd take the 4

Others have already commented on the spider wrinkles in the red background of the 1.5. These wrinkles are what my eyes immediately noticed when I first saw this card, and they bother me so much that I don't enjoy looking at this card. I do somewhat enjoy looking at the 4, despite its obvious flaws.
